## Prediction

Within 7 days, the seizure of Hezbollah’s mountain drone complex is likely to evolve into a broader but still limited Israeli air and artillery campaign against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, met by recurring rocket and drone fire into northern Israel. Both sides will avoid large-scale ground invasions but will accept higher attrition and civilian displacement along the border to shift tactical advantage. The campaign will test Iranian resupply routes and may draw more overt Iranian advisory support into Lebanon. Confirmation would be multi-day patterns of strikes and retaliations with casualty and displacement figures rising on both sides of the Blue Line; denial would be a swift ceasefire or mediated de-escalation after an initial exchange.

## Drivers

- Israeli capture of a major Hezbollah drone facility
- Ongoing reports of destroyed and occupied Lebanese towns
- Entrenched Israel–Iran multi-front proxy trend
